game corner irks me greatly, and so does the one heart scale per day limit at the pokeathlon.

You know there are far easier and far faster ways of amassing Heart Scales, such as:
1) Rock Smash pretty much anywhere.
2) High level Pickup guys crap them out.
3) Steal them from Luvdisc when they swarm.

Throw an Amulet Coin in there and you have money coming out your ears; battle through the Elite Four and Red with a money-increasing item equipped and you'll eventually net over 30,000 by the end. Put the right Pokémon in the right matchup and you have no shortage of EXP, particularly in the Gym Leader rematches, where the right matchup can yield a raise of two or even three levels in one sitting if you keep going back enough times.

It's no harder to rack up EXP and money in this game than in any other. Heaven forbid they make you work for it a bit.

Never underestimate the power of stupidity, of the one and of the many.Words to|live by

I thought it was a really awesome game, true to the originals but with loads of new stuff etc.

The only thing that annoys me is how stupidly difficult it is to train, seeing as the vs seeker is gone *cries* and you have to phone the gym leaders on certain days for rematches. I have to admit I resorted to trading my team to platinum and training them there more than once, and I don't regret it because it probably saved me about a day's worth of leveling up.

There is no vs.seeker in HG/SS. That's really making me angry, because the hole training process is much slower than in D/P/Pt... also the new way to get a Heart Scale is much harder than in D/P/Pt.. that is not so nice

Things that irritate me:
~ Pointless PokéGear calls
~ Inability to delete PokéGear numbers
~ Having to use Battle Points to pay for the HGSS tutor moves (contrary to Platinum's payments)
~ The inability to catch Rayquaza without the HG Kyogre or SS Groudon (depending on the version you're playing)
~ Training (at times; I personally use the Lucky Egg to speed things up slightly)

Things that confuse me:
~ The best places to EV train
~ How to get your Smeargle to Sketch moves

so when i try downloading my battle videos to gts, it says theres something wrong with my pokemon...and the video wont send. even if i change my entire team. it wont let me. this is on my ss, so i traded a team that didnt work on ss, to hg and it worked fine....anyone? all are legit by the way

If your pokemon are really legit the video will be uploaded, take note that links between pokemons hidden values (such as IV's and the PID) are taken in to account when uploading a video.
This happens for your opponents pokemon also.

If you add me, Send me a PM with your FC.

My shinies: x3
Currently playing through HG and SRing for shinies with decent IV's.
SRing for SHINY Shuckle. Offering: Bashful and Naive shiny ElectrodesHG/SS ruined Pikachu, it is now no more common than a grain on sand when Tyranitar is leading your team. Not to mention, it now looks retarded...

Did you get stuck in Ericka`s gym?

I`ll never forget when I got lost in The gym leader Ericka`s gym on the way out. I thought it was a game flaw and that one of the trainers was blocking the way but I found my way out after a couple hours but it was so frustrating...

and flygon absol, i agree entirely
and adding to that game corner bit. voltorb flip blows. i miss slots

i have the full phonebook on ss, so i never answer anymore. so when i went through HG i say no to everybody who asks. STOP CALLING ME! agh

furthermore, red gyrados. that was in the original i know, as part of the storyline, but mainly to introduce shinies, however theyve ruined it, because its more commonly used than the normally gyradoos. I caught a shiny gyrados, NOT in the lake of rage, and its worthless because of that.

and i know peopled abuse the pokewalker even more , but this 1 lv at a time thing is crap

I'm very happy with the game. It is easily my favorite pokemon game to date. My favorite part about the game is having one of your pokemon follow you, and I hope Black and White have the same feature. The day/night cycle in the game is great and I love how you can get most of the legendaries and starters too. The only thing I don't like is when you encounter the legendary dogs for the first time, in the burned tower, the natures and IVs for Raikou and Entei are predetermmined and you can't SR like you could in Diamond and Pearl (with their roaming legendaries).
